Chapter 217: Old Hammer
The Earth Fire City Refiner Guild, there is no other branch but this Black Tower, which is also the administrative center of the city, whether it was under the rule of the Holy Empire or now under the rule of the Thundering Empire, the real power of the city lord must be appointed by the high-level in the Black Tower, and the only thing that needs to be noted is that the authority of the empire must not be disobeyed.
As for the word earth fire, it was changed by His Majesty Lei Ming I himself, because nine of the ten households in the inner city were refining and striking iron, and without exception, all of them dug holes in the ground and burned runes to lead the earth to the fire, so the remaining one was an expert in making holes and making fire, which was not only courteous to the neighbors but also made a lot of money.
With the story of painting and coloring, he inadvertently came to the gate of the inner city, and after careful inspection, he was allowed to enter after being recommended by Kong Wu, Ye Chen looked at the iron walls and iron tiles of every house, and the sound of hammers in the workshop of every household burst into the sky, and the closer to the black tower, the wider the courtyard of the house, and the difference between the inside and outside was more than half.
"Presumably my brother has already understood, the innermost row is the best place to refine weapons except for the Black Tower, the quality of the earth fire is nearly twice as strong as the periphery, and the rules are also very simple, there are second-grade refining qualifications and then after the review of the Black Tower, you can enter the inner city to purchase real estate, once you settle down and pass it down from generation to generation, if you want to go inside, you only need to improve the refining qualifications and add money, and the first row needs the third-grade primary qualifications in the inside, how can you really lack money if you really want to reach that level."
Kong Wu led the way in front while speaking, and went straight to a courtyard in the second row of the inside, Ye Chen couldn't help but glance back at the third row of the road that came here, and the rules were indeed obvious: "Brother Kong, what if it exceeds the third grade primary." ”
"It's more than enough to enter the Black Tower and concentrate on further study, but it's a pity that his Kong family is going to die, and he can't even live in the second row of high courts for a few days."
Without waiting for Kong Wu to solve his confusion, there was a sudden aggressive speech behind him, Ye Chen Xunsheng saw that five swarthy men in cool clothes and almost shirtless were walking together, the leader had the strongest muscles, and a palm-sized hammer-shaped mark was printed on his left shoulder.
"Wang Meng, my Kong family can't take your turn to talk too much, even if you have the brand of the Black Tower, you may not be able to become a third-grade intermediate refiner."
Obviously, the old opponent Kong Wu immediately replied without hesitation, and even the little hammer was involved in it, Ye Chen saw this and stepped forward with the corners of his mouth, he was more willing to do it than to move his mouth, but as soon as he took a step, he was pulled by Kong Wu and the little hammer: "Don't do it, brother, the punishment for prohibiting fighting in the inner city is very harsh, let's ignore him." ”
I have to say that Kong Wu is really scared, Ye Chen's past deeds have been heard from far away, and they can be regarded as eye-catching, and the master realm cultivators have killed three or four at a time, if they are left alone, they will stab Da Louzi, the key is that this is the Earth Fire City, not the Sifang City.
"Eh, I forgot, Brother Kong, don't blame, it's really been a bit easy lately, so let Tie Dan'er come out and scold him."
As soon as the words fell, Wang Meng and the five of them immediately glared at them and wanted to step forward, but in Ye Chen's eyes, they were tantamount to a child's arrogance, waving their hands at will, releasing iron eggs, expanding their bodies, roaring loudly, scolding and squirting, the saliva content was quite sufficient, and they were all sprayed with a wet face, stupid on the spot.
"Five big silly forks."
Ye Chen selflessly helped translate, followed Kong Wu into the courtyard, closed the door and let him disturb himself, the two looked at each other and smiled, and hurriedly went straight to the backyard to meet the monkey master.
The hair on his body is neat and clean, but there is no luster at all, his physique is still strong, but his complexion is full of old age, his eyes are cloudy, and the banana peeled in his hand has not yet been dried and discolored.
Fire King Kong, fire attribute holy spirit beast, outstanding among common war beasts, not inferior to the lion tiger, characteristics, flexible, intelligent, anthropomorphic, studious, fire-resistant fur, amazing arm strength, good at using tools, emotional, stunts, "Flame Strike", "Flame Spitting", "Flame Surrounding", far can be attacked, close can be defended.
Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but secretly admire, the potential of ape war beasts is more and more obvious the more advanced they are, and it is definitely self-deception to say that they are not tempted, just as he was thinking about it, Kong Wu next to him tried to speak: "Grandpa, are you asleep and awake?" ”
The voice fell and waited for a long time, the old hammer sitting on the special wooden chair finally moved, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned and stretched out his empty claws to signal Kong Wu to go over, and the little hammer saw this and took the lead in seizing the position and rubbing and kissing coquettishly, two faint ape howls followed by a slightly hoarse sound, like the kind laughter of the elders, Kong Wu couldn't help but sigh lightly and then put on a smiling face before stepping forward to grab the ape claws that were always stretched forward, and said "Wu'er is back" to say everything.
"Ah, do you eat bananas? Your dad just peeled it for me, eh, where did he go again? ”
The old man's voice came into Ye Chen's mind, and he didn't need to think much about it to know that the old hammer must have made the wrong person, so he hurriedly relayed it to Kong Wu, but the more he spoke, the more he felt that his mouth was heavy, and he inevitably thought that if Ye Buqu became like this, he would be able to face it calmly.
"Alas, this is confused again, brother quickly release the grass and try it, I really want to have a good chat with grandpa."
A little eager, there was no lack of pleading on his face, and even in his eyes, Ye Chen nodded and immediately released the sleeping Cao'er to summon and call: "Cao'er, wake up quickly, help me make the old ape over there sober and sober, and when the matter is completed, I will send you back to the mountain." ”
"Ah......, sleep so comfortably, I want to stay in it without going anywhere in the future, it's best to arrange a few more friends of the same kind for me, as long as it satisfies me, I will tell you the two secrets I just discovered."
Cao'er stretched her waist comfortably while sending a message, and Ye Chen immediately raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "Not only do I arrange a little partner for you, I also know a thorn demon tree and an Araki human face flower, and I will introduce them to you when I have the opportunity, although the secret will be rewarded later." ”
As soon as she heard this, Cao'er swayed excitedly twice and hurriedly replied: "Great, Cao'er likes rewards, I just found out that it is very intimate and comfortable in your space, as if you are talking about returning to your mother's arms, and the other secret is that the old ape is about to die, and it seems to be very unwilling." ”
After the interrogation, the grass quickly fell silent, and soon a flower stem and leaf bud gradually formed, but Ye Chen did not see a little joy on his face, but he tried to suppress his surprise as much as possible.
After a while, the buds swelled to the limit and slowly bloomed, and the faint smell of vanilla exuded as if there was clear water flowing up the nostrils to gently wash the brain, and the people present all stretched their brows and were indescribably refreshed, the most significant one was the old hammer, but I saw that he threw away the banana and stroked the head of Kong Wu and the little hammer respectively.
"At a young age, he is already a master realm cultivator, and he has to pray for the care of the grass must be pure-hearted, child, I want to thank you in advance, Wu'er has been diligent since he was a child, his parents died early, and I am the last dear of the old ape, if I have the opportunity, I will tell him in person."
Compared with Fang Cai's old age, his voice was more sonorous and powerful, Ye Chen nodded secretly, and when he saw that Cao'er was a little wilted, he stepped back and asked, "Cao'er, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's just a little dizzy."
"It's okay, it's really hard for you, but how long does this awakening pollen last? How long will it take to use it again? ”
"Oh, I think it will last about an hour, according to what you say, and it will take about an hour to use it."
"Will it hurt the root if it is used continuously?"
"Of course it will, but well, if there is a fertile soil nourished by spiritual fluid, it will be fine."
"Well said, well said, what is the spiritual liquid? Where to find fertile soil? ”
"Cut, it's rare for me to say something to pretend to be a fork, what a waste of expression, the spiritual liquid is to soak the crystal nucleus in water and add some war beast blood, the higher the level, the better, and then water it into the black soil to be fertile soil."
"I, go."
Ye Chen was speechless, so he had to wave his hand and put away the grass, regardless of whether it was useful or not, he brought a bottle of silver juice nectar by the way, and then quietly retreated outside the house to visit the refining workshop alone, and was immersed in it unconsciously.
Open the door of the forge furnace The roaring fire is terrifying, it is not difficult to feel the energy fluctuations when touching the furnace wall, if it is not blessed by the rune brand, it must be difficult to resist the calcination of the ground fire, and then carefully look at the original place on the desk, fire tongs, sledgehammers, small hammers, chisels, punches, etc., all embedded with crystal nuclei of various sub-grades, turn your head to see that even the anvil is no exception, it seems that this refining is more complicated than imagined.
"Brother Chen, Empress Rong wants to thank you well, come in with me, Grandpa Tai will confirm the matter of refining troops with you in person."
Kong Wuman trotted to the front with a bright face, and couldn't help but say that he took his hand and turned his head to leave, and at the same time said to himself: "I have already told my grandfather about your thoughts, don't worry, it's basically no problem." ”
Seeing that he must not have known that the old hammer was about to die, Ye Chen frowned slightly but did not say much, and when he saw the old hammer again, he was like two monkeys before, not only drank wine but also ate meat, and his pleasant appearance was almost no different from that of a person.
"I've seen grandpa."
This voice was loud and not pretentious, Ye Chen himself wondered if it was too smooth, and then received a reply: "Ye Chen, is your father's name Ye Buqu, it seems that there is another named Mu Tianxiong, who should have been in his forties at the beginning, and he didn't ask me to build a Guan knife, those two boys were cunning one by one." ”
"Holy."
Ye Chen was secretly shocked when he heard the news, according to this, it was considered a advantage to call his grandfather, and he was about to reply but received a summons: "Okay, the past has nothing to do with your junior, let's talk about the business, I promised all the things that Wu'er relayed, as long as you take out the energy guide essence gold, the demon suppression rope and the ice attribute spirit crystal, the rest of the materials are my old ape's, but I have something to ask for." ”
"Grandpa, please say, I will do my best."
"Happy, I need to take care of Wu'er and the little hammer for me, but in the troubled times, I want to live and not be bullied."
"Okay, I'll do it."
"Second, after the blade is made, assist Wu'er to enter the Black Tower for further study, at least three years, more than eight years, and when the technique is successful, he will personally come to pick him up, and he will not be allowed to set foot in Volcano City until the Black Tower overturns."
"It should be difficult, I'll do my best."
"Okay, after I die, you need to prepare a soul sealing spell to enter the corpse, and the rest will be handled by Wu'er, so that's all."
"Let me seal the soul spell for five days, and it will be delivered."
"A word is a certainty, and the furnace will be practiced in two days."
"Ye Chen thanked Grandpa Xie for this time, if he violates the agreement in the future, he will be thundered by the sky."
"Hahaha, prepare to witness the last glory of the old ape, and deserve this life in vain."
